Episode® Passive In-Wall Subwoofer with Single 8 in. Woofer
The ES-SUB-IW-SNGL8 is the perfect solution for both retrofit and new construction applications. Built around the same world-class 8" Woven Fiberglass woofer that is found in its larger dual 8 sibling, this subwoofer provides the low-end punch needed for moderate-size home theaters and multi-room applications.
World-Class Engineering: It features an 8" Woven Fiberglass Sandwich cone, Nomex Spider and high temperature voice-coil. Optimized for outstanding audio performance, this subwoofer delivers realistic bass with a punch unmatched by the competition.
Retrofit-Friendly: Just use the supplied template to cut an opening in the drywall, connect speaker wire to the gold-plated spring terminals and zip the dog toggles into place.
Reinforced Bezel: To handle the power of this woofer, our engineers designed a custom bezel with reinforced ribs that won't flex or wobble under pressure.
Locking Grille: The force created by this woofer was so great our engineering team wasn't able to use a conventional friction-fit grill - so they designed a new one! By adding small bump-outs to the grill and accompanying recesses in the plastic bezel, it stays put even when rocking the house! There's even the nice finishing touch of fiberglass tape for a smooth fit - and to prevent rattles.
Backbox Considerations: This subwoofer is designed to use the wall cavity as its backbox. Typical 2x4 construction spaced 16”-on-center will create roughly 3 cubic feet of airspace in an 8’ tall wall cavity – perfect for retrofit subwoofer applications. It is optimized to work in as little as 1 cubic foot of airspace, which is equivalent to a 2.5’ tall wall cavity should you use a fireblock or purlin in new construction.
